Dutch Bike Co Weblog

Just thought everyone might like to know what happens when Dutch Bike Chicago heads over to Dutch Bike Seattle. Watch until the end to see who forms the head.  Who is that guy?

The Seattle staff are all in Chicago this weekend to assist with the grand opening of the Chicago store. We apologize in advance for any inconvenience this may cause our customers and visitors to the shop. Just give us a call in Chicago 312-265-0175 if you need any assistance. We all have access to email, so you can still reach us that way as well.

Our inventory has arrived. Thanks to Henry at Workcyles for packing more bikes into a 40 ft ocean-going container than seems humanly possible and seeing to it that they arrived in perfect time for our Grand Opening.  Thanks also to the Chicago area US Customs for making this the smoothest and swiftest clearing process we have experienced. Thanks especially to Gerson Development and Exit Management for making possible and welcoming us into our new home.

Since we've nary a June day where the temperature has broken sixty degrees, it's easy to imagine that it's still winter here in Seattle. Save for the fact that the gray days now last from 5:00 AM to near 10:00 PM, we are just cold and damp like any day in December. So, what better way to celebrate that holiday spirit than unpacking a 40' container of shiny new bikes from Holland? Donde esta Santa Claus? We'd like to thank the US Customs inspectors for their thoughtful and efficient inspection of our longed-for cargo and releasing it to Ivan our charming and exuberant truck driver. We'd like to thank Henry and his crew at Workcycles in Amsterdam for his impeccable packing job. All of the bikes arrived in perfect condition. We'd also like to thank all of our patient customers who will soon have their own longed-for bikes. We could have run to sunny Mexico with your money — and you trusted us not to. Thanks.
